Bureau  of  Statistics,  State  House, 

Boston,  February  13,  1911. 

James  W.  Kimball,  Esq.,  Clerk,  House  of  Bepresentatives. 

Dear  Sir  :  —  I  have  to  acknowledge  tlie  receipt  of  a  copy  of  an 
order  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  dated  January  6,  1911,  as 
follows : 

Ordered,  That  the  Director  of  the  Bureau  of  Statistics  be  requested  to  fur- 
nish the  House  with  a  tabulation  of  the  population  of  the  cities  and  towns  of 
the  Commonwealth  as  determined  by  the  United  States  Census  of  1910, 
arranged  alphabetically  and  by  political  divisions,  inckiding  congressional 
districts,  and  with  such  comparative  figTires  and  descriptive  matter  as  he  may 
deem  desirable. 

In  compliance  therewith  1  beg  to  submit  the  accompanying  tabula- 
tions and  statements. 

Table  I  gives  the  population  of  Massachusetts  at  each  census  for 
145  years,  or  since  the  Provincial  Census  of  1765.  On  April  15, 
1910,  the  population  of  the  Commonwealth  was  3,366,416  as  com- 
pared with  3,003,680  on  May  1,  1905,  the  date  of  the  last  census 
taken  under  state  auspices,  and  2,805,346  on  June  1,  1900,  the  date 
of  the  preceding  United  States  Census.  The  gain  in  1910  over  1905 
was  362,736,  or  12.1  per  cent,  while  the  gain  in  1910,  as  compared 
with  1900,  was  561,070,  or  20.0  per  cent.  In  the  10  years  ending  in 
May,  1905,  the  population  of  the  Commonwealth  increased  20.1  per 
cent,  the  percentage  of  increase  being  almost  identical  with  that  made 
in  the  decade  1900-1910. 

Table  II  is  a  division  of  the  population  of  the  Commonwealth  by 
censuses  from  1875  to  1910,  inclusive,  into  gi'oups  showing  the  in- 
creasing concentration  in  places  of  5,000  and  30,000  respectively. 

Table  III  gives  the  population  of  the  cities  and  towns  of  the  Com- 
monwealth by  the  United  States  Census  of  1910,  arranged  alpha- 
beticallv. 


6  THE  POPULATION  OF  MASSACHUSETTS.  [Mar. 

Table  TV  gives  the  population  of  the  counties  of  the  Common- 
wealth by  the  United  States  Census  of  1910,  arranged  alphabetically. 

Table  V  shows  the  population  of  cities  and  towns  by  counties  at 
each  census  since  1880,  with  a  recapitulation  by  counties.  The  coun- 
ties, with  the  exception  of  Barnstable,  Dukes,  and  Nantucket,  showed 
an  increase  in  population  in  1910  as  compared  with  1900 ;  and.  with 
the  single  exception  of  Dukes  county,  they  increased  between  1905 
and  1910. 

Tables  VI,  VII,  and  VIII  give  the  cities  and  towns  in  order  of 
size  in  1910,  with  the  population  for  1910  and  1900  and  the  increases 
and  decreases  during  the  10  years  in  numbers  and  percentages.  In 
Table  VI  the  cities  of  the  State  are  given ;  in  Table  VII,  the  towns 
having  more  than  5,000  population  in  1910 ;  and  in  Table  VIII,  the 
towns  having  less  than  5,000  population  in  1910. 

Table  IX  gives  the  population  of  the  i-4  existing  congressional 
districts  of  the  Commonwealth  as  the  same  were  comprised  by  Chapter 
511,  Acts  of  1901,  classified  by  counties,  cities,  and  towns,  with  com- 
parisons of  population  comprised  in  the  same  territory  in  1900. 

Table  X  gives  the  population  by  the  United  States  Census  of 
1910  of  the  cities  by  wards  and  precincts. 

Table  XI  gives  the  population  of  Metropolitan  Boston  at  each 
census  since  1880. 

Table  XII  gives  the  population  of  each  of  the  several  geographical 
subdivisions  of  the  city  of  Boston  from  1790  to  1910. 

Following  the  population  tabulations  there  is  presented  a  com- 
pilation of  notes,  with  statutory  citations  relative  to  changes  that  have 
occurred  since  the  Census  of  1900  in  annexations,  boundary  lines, 
place  names,  etc. 

Comparative  statistics,  whether  of  population  or  other  data,  should 
always  be  used  with  the  fact  borne  in  mind  that  conditions  under 
which  information  may  be  obtained  can  never  be  identical  in  all 
places  and  at  widely  separated  intervals  of  time.  In  noting  or  draw- 
ing inferences  from  increases  or  decreases  in  population  as  recorded 
from  census  to  census,  therefore,  we  should  guard  against  placing  too 
great  significance  upon  apparent  differences  in  population,  especially 
where  these  are  comparatively  slight  one  way  or  the  other,  appreciat- 
ing that  if  it  were  possible  to  enumerate  the  people  in  a  given  commu- 
nity at  each  recurring  census  period  under  precisely  the  same  condi- 


1911.]  HOUSE  — No.  1650.  7 

lions,  some  of  the  differences  that  now  appear  might  not  he  so  marked. 
The  most  important  factors  which  may  legitimately  tend  to  modify 
absolute  comparisons  are: 

1.  Differences  in  changes  of  boundary  lines  between  censuses  due 
to  the  setting  off  of  portions  of  the  territory  of  a  city  or  town  and  its 
annexation  to  adjacent  municipalities.  In  the  period  between  the 
United  States  Census  of  1900  and  that  of  1910,  the  territory  of  seven 
cities  and  towns  was  decreased,  the  territory  set  off  being  incorporated 
as  a  separate  town  in  one  instance  (Plainville  set  off  from  Wren- 
tham)  ;  and  being  annexed  to  other  cities  and  towns  in  the  other  six 
instances  (territory  set  off  from  Cambridge  and  from  Watertown  and 
annexed  to  Belmont ;  from  Northampton  and  annexed  to  Holyoke ; 
from  Tewksbury  and  annexed  to  Lowell ;  from  Sandwich  and  an- 
nexed to  Mashpee;  and  from  Williamstown  and  annexed  to  l^orth 
Adams). 

2.  Differences  in  the  census  day.  Thus,  the  United  States  Census 
of  1900  was  taken  as  of  June  1,  while  the  State  Census  of  1905  was 
taken,  in  accordance  with  our  State  Constitution,  as  of  May  1 ;  and 
by  the  act  under  which  the  United  States  Census  of  1910  was  author- 
ized, it  was  taken  as  of  April  15.  The  number  of  persons  who  may 
be  found  in  a  given  locality  is  likely  to  vary  in  many  cases  for  numer- 
ous obvious  reasons  according  as  the  count  may  be  made  at  one  period 
or  another  of  the  year, 

3.  Differences  in  the  rules,  or  in  the  interpretation  thereof,  which 
define  who  shall  be  enumerated.  For  example,  the  United  States  in 
its  census  enumerates  the  people  according  to  their  usual  place  of 
abode,  but  wide  latitude  has  sometimes  been  shown  in  determining 
exactly  what  may  be  a  person's  "  usual  place  of  abode,"  for  this  pur- 
pose. In  the  recent  census  this  phrase  was  much  more  explicitly 
defined  and  its  intent  made  clearer  to  the  enumerators  than  was  the 
case  10  years  ago.  In  certain  communities,  therefore,  the  transient 
population  was  probably  not  included  in  the  count  at  the  recent  census 
to  the  extent  that  it  has  been  in  former  United  States  censuses.  The 
Commonwealth,  on  the  other  hand,  has  not  followed  the  practice,  to 
the  same  extent  as  has  the  United  States,  of  limiting  the  enumeration 
of  the  inhabitants  of  a  given  place  to  those  who  make  it  their  usual 
place  of  abode,  but,  with  certain  exceptions,  has  generally  permitted 
the  count  to  include  all  persons  who  claimed  a  residence  in  the  State 


8  THE  POPULATION  OF  MASSACHUSETTS.  [Mar. 

on  the  census  day.  This  difference  in  rule  or  practice  has  had  a  very 
noticeable  effect  upon  the  recorded  population  of  numerous  commu- 
nities, being  especially  marked  in  the  case  of  college  towns  in  which 
thousands  of  students,  temporarily  sojourning  there  but  whose  real 
homes  were  elsewhere,  were  omitted  from  the  enumeration  in  the 
United  States  Census  of  1910,  while  the  same  class  was  counted  in 
the  State  Census  of  1905,  and  many  more  of  this  class  having  been 
counted  in  the  United  States  Census  of  1900  than  in  the  recent  census 
because  of  the  more  rigid  interpretation  of  the  rule  last  year. 

It  is  an  adage  of  census  taking  that  "  no  census  can  be  better  than 
the  enumerator."  By  this  is  meant  that  the  supervising  census  au- 
thorities have  reached  the  limit  of  their  ability  to  lay  the  foundations 
for  reliable  population  statistics  when  they  have  obtained  the  best 
enumerators  possible  to  be  procured  under  existing  conditions  in  each 
locality.  The  enumerators  for  the  recent  census  —  about  1,900  in 
Massachusetts  —  were  selected,  Avherever  there  was  a  sufficient  num- 
ber of  applicants  in  any  locality,  by  a  competitive  examination,  and 
not  an  appointment,  whether  of  enumerator  or  inspector  or  office 
clerk,  was  made  by  the  Supervisor  for  any  reason  save  merit  alone, 
the  best  available  person  in  each  case  being  chosen.  There  were 
about  7,000  applicants  for  enumerators'  positions  in  Massachusetts, 
but  only  about  3,500  appeared  at  the  examinations  which  were  held 
simultaneously  on  February  5,  1910,  at  about  90  places  throughout 
the  Commonwealth;  and  of  these  about  1,500  passed  satisfactorily 
the  test  for  the  1,900  positions.  In  numerous  localities,  however, 
there  was  a  surplus  of  eligibles,  but  these  could  not  be  used  to  make 
good  deficiencies  elsewhere  because  the  compensation  allowed,  in  most 
cases  moderate  enough  to  cover  services  actually  rendered,  while  pre- 
sumed to  be  sufficient  to  cover  all  necessary  expenses,  was  not  enough 
to  pay  for  travel  and  support  of  enumerators  away  from  their  own 
homes. 

Because  of  this  lack  at  the  outset  of  a  sufficient  supply  of  com- 
petent enumerators,  properly  placed  geographically,  the  actual  enu- 
meration, which  was  supposed  to  begin  everywhere  simultaneously 
on  April  15  and  to  be  completed  within  30  days,  was  unavoidably 
delayed  in  several  districts,  and  the  shipment  of  the  schedules  for  the 
last  of  the  1,956  enumeration  districts  was  made  to  Washington  on 
August  31.    The  public,  naturally  desirous  of  ascertaining  the  popu- 


1911.]  HOUSE  — No.  1650.  9 

lation  figures  as  speedily  as  possible,  was,  in  general,  very  patient 
in  awaiting  the  results,  though  it  could  not  know  the  magnitude  of 
the  task  involved  in  examining  approximately  100,000,000  entries 
made  on  many  thousand  different  schedules  by  over  1,900  individ- 
uals, nor  appreciate  what  it  meant  to  undertake  to  check  back  the 
house  numbers  on  thousands  of  schedules  to  every  street,  avenue, 
alley,  and  court  on  the  map  of  every  city  in  the  Commonwealth  in 
order  to  ascertain  whether  the  enumerators  had  properly  covered  the 
districts  assigned  them  and  in  order  that  means  might  promptly  be 
taken  wherever  necessary  to  enumerate  omitted  population. 

Had  this  supplementary  office  work,  requiring  the  highest  order  of 
technical  clerical  skill,  unlimited  patience  and  aptitude  for  tedious 
detail,  not  been  attempted,  the  schedules  might  have  been  forwarded 
to  Washington  much  sooner  and  the  population  of  Boston,  for  ex- 
ample, might  have  been  announced  in  June  instead  of  early  in  Sep- 
tember. But  its  importance  as  a  necessary  incident  of  any  proper 
supervision  of  the  census  may  be  judged  from  the  statement  that  as 
a  result  of  these  checking-up  processes  some  13,000  names  were 
added  to  the  schedules  of  the  State  by  the  supplementary  canvasses 
of  special  agents  after  the  regularly  appointed  enumerators  had  osten- 
sibly completed  their  work;  and  of  this  number  5,000  were  added  in 
Boston  alone,  which  would  not  have  been  included  in  the  final  figures 
ofiicially  announced  in  September  had  a  mere  addition  of  the  enumera- 
tors' first  returns  been  accepted  as  indicating  the  population  of  the 
city  and  given  out  as  such  at  the  earliest  possible  moment  in  May  or 
June.  The  Supervisor  felt  that  a  delay  of  two  or  three  months  in  the 
announcement  of  the  official  population  figures  was  of  slight  conse- 
quence as  compared  with  the  duty  of  exhausting  every  reasonable 
means  of  assuring  as  complete  and  honest  a  count  of  the  population, 
and  as  complete  economic  data,  as  possible ;  and  in  this  view  he  was 
sustained  generally  by  the  press  and  public  of  Massachusetts. 

The  Bureau  of  Statistics  is  the  Census  Office  of  the  Commonwealth, 
and  under  the  Constitution  and  the  statutes  the  State's  own  decennial 
census  has  been  taken  by  this  department  since  1875 ;  and  since  1880 
the  federal  decennial  censuses  in  Massachusetts  have  been  placed  by 
the  government  under  the  immediate  supervision  of  the  head  of  the 
Bureau,  who  is  authorized  by  act  of  the  Legislature  "  to  supervise  the 
taking  of  the  United  States  censuses  for  Massachusetts  and  to  co-

operate  with  the  federal  authorities  in  all  respects  possible  and  feasi- 
ble, so  far  as  is  consistent  with  the  interests  of  the  Commonwealth, 
for  the  purpose  of  promoting  economy  and  efficiency  in  the  gathering, 
compilation,  and  publication  of  statistical  matter."  The  co-operation 
thus  made  possible  between  this  Bureau  and  the  United  States  Bureau 
of  the  Census  has  always  proved  not  only  of  mutual  benefit  from  the 
standpoint  of  administrative  efficiency,  but  has  given  to  Massachu- 
setts a  recognized  distinction  among  the  States  of  the  Union  for  the 
completeness,  honesty,  and  general  accuracy  of  its  census  returns. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

CHARLES  F.  GETTEMY, 

Director,  Bureau  of  Statistics.

Table  I.  —  Population  op  Massachusetts  foe  l-iS  Years. 

The  population  of  each  city  and  toivn  of  the  Commonwealth  at  each 
census  from  the  Provincial  Census  of  1765  to  the  State  Census  of 
1905,  with  notes  on  annexations,  changes  in  names,  etc.,  is  given 
in  Vol.  I  of  the  Reports  of  the  Decennial  Census  of  1905,  pp. 
807-902. 

The  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  covers  part  of  the  territory  originallyfgranted  to  the  Plymouth 
Company  of  England.  It  grew  out  of  the  consolidation  of  the  colonies  of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts 
Bay.  The  settlement  at  Plymouth  began  with  the  landing  of  the  Pilgrims,  December  22,  1620.  The 
colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  originated  with  the  settlement  under  John  Endecott  at  Salem,  in  1628.  In 
1643,  a  confederacy  was  formed  consisting  of  the  colonies  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  Plymouth,  Connecticut, 
and  New  Haven.  In  1692,  under  a  new  charter  given  by  William  III,  the  colonies  of  Massachusetts  Bay 
and  Plymouth  were  consolidated  as  a  royal  province,  including  also  Maine.  In  1780,  after  the  Revolution, 
the  present  State  Constitution  was  adopted.  In  January,  1788,  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  was 
ratified  by  Massachusetts.  The  colonists  in  New  Hampshire,  in  1641,  as  a  measure  of  protection  and 
defence  against  the  Indians,  allied  themselves  with  the  colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  and  remained  part 
of  said  colony  until  1679,  when  New  Hampshire  was  made  a  separate  royal  province,  Massachusetts  thereby 
losing  part  of  its  territory,  January  1,  1680.  The  territory  now  comprising  the  State  of  Maine  was  set  off 
from  Massachusetts  by  an  Act  passed  March  3,  1820,  taking  effect  March  15,  1820.  By  the  Province  Charter 
of  1692,  certain  islands  now  comprising  the  county  of  Dukes  County  and  Nantucket  County  were  ceded 
to  Massachusetts  from  New  York  (see  county  of  Dukes  County).  Certain  common  lands  in  Berkshire 
County,  known  as  the  District  of  Boston  Corner,  were  ceded  to  the  State  of  New  York  May  14, 1853.  By 
a  settlement  of  a  boundary  controversy  between  Massachusetts  and  Rhode  Island,  certain  exchanges  of 
territory  were  made  between  these  States  April  10,  1861.

Table  IL  —  Urban  Concenteation  of  Population. 
The  increasing  tendency  of  the  human  race  to  concentrate  in  cities 
or  to  seek  life  in  what  may  he  termed  urban  conditions,  is  one  of  the 
striking  phenomena  of  the  last  hundred  years.  This  is  nowhere  more 
notable  among  American  states  than  in  Massachusetts,  where  at  this 
time  there  are  probably  more  people  living  under  these  conditions 
than  in  any  other  State  of  the  Union  except  Rhode  Island.  The 
transformation  in  Massachusetts  during  the  past  35  years  is  graph- 
ically shown  in  the  following  tables :

From  these  tables  it  appears  that  no  farther  back  than  the  Census 
of  1875,  32.8  per  cent  of  the  population  resided  in  towns  of  5,000 
and  under.  In  35  years  this  percentage  had  been  reduced  to  12.4,  and 
by  the  same  computation  it  appears  that  87.6  per  cent  of  our  popula- 
tion now  live  in  places  of  5,000  or  over.  In  1875,  632,671  persons 
in  Massachusetts,  or  38.3  per  cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  State, 
dwelt  in  places  of  30,000  and  over.  According  to  the  Census  of  1910, 
the  number  of  persons  dwelling  in  places  of  30,000  or  over  has  risen 
to  2,074,455,  or  61.6  per  cent  of  the  total.

THE  POPULATION  OF  MASSACHUSETTS. 


[Mar. 


Table  VI.  —  Population  of  Cities,  1910,  compared  with  Popu- 
lation OF  1900;  ARRANGED  IN  OrDER  OF  SiZE,   1910    (33  CiTIES). 

The  population  of  the  33  cities  in  the  State  is  shown  in  the  follow- 
ing table,  the  figures  being  given  for  1910  and  1900,  with  the  in- 
creases or  decreases  for  the  decade  in  numbers  and  percentages. 

The  aggregate  population  of  the  cities  in  1910  was  2,295,889,  or 
68.2  per  cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  State,  as  compared  with 
an  aggregate  population  of  1,880,087  in  1900,  an  increase  of  22.1 
per  cent  in  city  population  during  the  decade.  The  ratio  of  city 
population  to  the  population  of  the  State  in  1900  was  67.0  per  cent. 

Of  the  33  cities,  three,  Chelsea,  Gloucester,  and  North  Adams, 
show  a  decrease  in  population  in  1910  as  compared  with  1900. 

In  1900  there  were  three  cities,  Boston,  Worcester,  and  Fall  Eiver, 
having  over  100,000  population  each.  Two  others,  Lowell  and  Cam- 
bridge, passed  the  100,000  mark  during  the  decade.  The  aggregate 
population  of  these  five  cities,  in  1910,  was  1,146,999,  or  34.1  per 
cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  State.  The  population  of  Boston 
alone  was  19.91  per  cent  of  the  total  as  compared  with  19.99  per 
cent  of  the  total  in  1900.  The  aggregate  population  of  cities  of  over 
100,000  in  1900  was  784,176,  or  28.0  per  cent  of  the  population  of 
the  State.

Cities  and  Towns  showing  Increase. 

The  total  number  of  cities  and  towns  showing  increase  in  popula- 
tion in  1910  as  compared  with  1900  was  226,  distributed  by  coun- 
ties, as  follows:  Barnstable,  6;  Berkshire,  15;  Bristol,  20;  Dukes,  1;

46 ;  Norfolk,  25  ;  Plymouth,  23  ;  Suffolk,  3 ;  and  Worcester,  29.  The 
greatest  percentage  of  increase  shown  during  the  decade  was  103.4 
per  cent  for  the  town  of  Maynard  in  Middlesex  county.  One  city 
and  seven  other  towns  increased  more  than  50  per  cent  during  the 
decade,  namely.  Revere,  Suffolk  county,  75.3  per  cent;  AYinthrop, 
Suffolk  county,  67.2  per  cent;  Marion,  Plymouth  county,  61.9  per 
cent;  Saugus,  Essex  county,  58.3  per  cent;  New  Bedford,  Bristol 
county,  54.8  per  cent;  Methuen,  Essex  county,  52.4  per  cent;  East- 
hampton,  Hampshire  county,  52.1  per  cent;  and  Carver,  Plymouth 
county,  50.6  per  cent. 

Cities  and  Towns  showing  Decrease. 

The  127  cities  and  towns  showing  a  decrease  in  population  in  1910 
as  compared  with  1900  were  distributed  by  counties  as  follows:  Barn- 
stable, 9 ;  Berkshire,  17 ;  Dukes,  6 ;  Essex,  8 ;  Franklin,  17 ;  Hamp- 
den, 10;  Hampshire,  12;  Middlesex,  8;  Nantucket,  1;  Norfolk,  4; 
Plymouth,  4 ;  Suffolk,  1 ;  and  Worcester,  30.  The  greatest  percent- 
age of  decrease  during  the  decade,  55.4  per  cent,  was  shown  by  the 
town  of  Wales,  Hampden  county,  the  next  largest  percentage  of  de- 
crease, 47.7,  being  shown  by  Boylston,  Worcester  county.  A  decrease 
of  more  than  20  per  cent  was  shown  by  each  of  19  other  towns.  The 
total  number  of  towns  showing  decrease  during  the  decade  ending 
May  1,  1905,  was  123,  a  number  slightly  smaller  than  shown  for  the 
decade  ending  April  15,  1910. 

The  population  of  27  towns  has  shown  either  a  decrease  or  failure 
to  change  at  each  census,  state  or.  federal,  since  1890.  These  are 
Blandford,  Brewster,  Brimfield,  Brookfield,  Chatham,  Cummingion, 
Dennis,  Egremont,  Harwich,  Heath,  Hinsdale,  Holland,  Hopkinton, 
Hubbardston,  Monterey,  New  Ashford,  New  Braintree,  New  Marl- 
borough, Sandisfield,  Shutesbury,  Tolland,  Truro,  Warren,  Wash- 
ington, West  Boylston,  West  Brookfield,  and  Westhampton.  Of  these, 
five  are  in  Barnstable  county ;  seven,  in  Berkshire ;  two,  in  Franklin ; 
four,  in  Hampden ;  two,  in  Hampshire ;  one,  in  Middlesex ;  and  six, 
in  Worcester. 

Ninety-one  other  towns  and  one  city  (Gloucester)  show  a  smaller 
population  in  1910  than  in  1890,  although  the  decrease  has  not  been 
continuous.     These  are  distributed  by  counties  as  follows:  Barnsta- 


30  THE  POPULATION  OF  MASSACHUSETTS.  [Mar. 

ble,  7;  Berkshire,  15;  Dukes,  2;  Essex,  7;  Franklin,  14;  Hampden, 
5 ;  HamiDshire,  10 ;  Middlesex,  6 ;  Nantucket,  1 ;  Norfolk,  2 ;  Plym- 
outh, 4;  and  Worcester,  19.  In  16  instances  the  decrease  was  due 
to  the  setting  off  of  territory  for  the  establishment  of  new  towns  or 
for  annexation  to  other  towns  or  cities.  One  new  town  was  incor- 
porated between  1900  and  1910  and  three  in  the  preceding  decade. 

Table  IX. — Population  by  Congressional  Districts,  1910, 

COMPARED   WITH    1900. 

The  population  of  the  State  by  congressional  districts  is  given  in  the 
following  table.  In  1910  there  were  14  congressional  districts  (es- 
tablished by  Chap.  511,  Acts  of  1901),  while  in  1900  the  number 
was  13.  The  table  gives  the  figures  for  1910  by  districts  as  they 
existed  in  that  year,  together  with  the  population  in  1900  for  the 
same  cities  and  towns,  and  the  increases  or  decreases  in  numbers  and 
percentages  during  the  decade. 

The  territory  of  District  1,  comprising  Berkshire  county  and  parts 
of  Franklin,  Hampden,  and  Hampshire  counties,  was  not  changed  by 
the  re-districting  of  1901  following  the  Census  of  1900,  and  hence 
was  the  same  in  1910  as  in  1900.  All  the  other  districts  having  been 
changed  by  Chap.  511,  Acts  of  1901,  the  comparison  of  totals  as 
given  in  these  tables  merely  shows  the  increases  in  population  of  the 
several  districts  as  they  existed  in  1910. 

The  population  of  the  districts  as  at  present  constituted  varies  from 
226,829,  in  District  6,  comprising  a  part  of  Essex  county,  to  261,335, 
in  District  7,  comprising  parts  of  Essex,  Middlesex,  and  Suffolk  coun- 
ties. By  the  Census  of  1910,  the  average  population  of  the  14  con- 
gressional districts  as  established  by  Chapter  511  of  the  Acts  of  1901 
was  240,458.  If  the  Commonwealth  is  to  be  divided  into  16  districts 
as  a  result  of  the  Census  of  1910,  the  average  population  for  each 
district  will  be  210.401.

Table   XL 


Population   of   Metropolitan   Boston  at   Each 

Census  since  1880. 


In  this  table  is  given  the  population  of  Metropolitan  Boston  at 
each  census,  State  or  Federal,  since  1880.  The  Metropolitan  Dis- 
trict, as  presented  here,  comprises  the  13  cities  and  27  towns  em- 
braced within  the  several  districts  considered  as  Metropolitan  Boston 
at  various  times. 

The  aggregate  population  of  the  district  in  1910  was  1,423,429,  or 
42.3  per  cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  State;  while  in  1900  it 
was  1,168,788,  or  41.7  per  cent  of  the  population  of  the  State;  in 
1890,  892,414,  or  39.9  per  cent  of  the  population  of  the  State;  and  in 
1880,  674,021,  or  37.8  per  cent  of  the  population  of  the  State.  At 
each  census  since  1880,  the  aggregate  population  of  the  district  has 
shown  an  increase  over  the  figure  for  the  preceding  census,  the  per- 
centages of  increase  being  11.5  in  1885,  18.8  in  1890,  14.8  in  1895, 
14.1  in  1900,  8.6  in  1905,  and  12.1  in  1910.  For  the  entire  thirtv-
